government shutdown would close national parks, furlough hundreds of thousands of federal workers, and stall new passport applications. there was one area of possible agreement. repeal of attacks on medical devices included in the bill republicans passed this weekend. a top democrat said he was open to the measure, but not with a shutdown looming. >> i'm willing to look at that, but not with a gun to my head, not with the prospect of shutting down the government. >> reporter: brianna keilar, cnn, the white house. the big question a lot of people are asking what does this mean for me and for you? hours to go before the government runs out of money this is a little list what will be operating and not operating. mail will still be delivered. fbi and dea and other law enforcement offices will be working. as will the military. get this. a lot of military personal will get ious instead of paychecks. most federal courts will remain open. also this. don't forget to pay your taxes. the irs is still collecting.

government is running the country, i would be in bankrupt. >> you made your point. let's get on with the business of running the country and pass the budget, pass the debt limits and let us keep improving the economy, but don't play games any more, please. >> our economy, our country, our business, the government is not running right now. also at midnight tonight, just as the government may be shutting down, a new by to buy health insurance will be starting up. a key part of obamacare, the insurance exchanges, they launch october 1st. this is one of the major steps towards implementing the health care overall. as margaret connolly reports there are many questions that people have what they have to to imply with the law. >> reporter: the owner of all new york area applebee's restaurants. when threatened to stop hiring

september coming in 4.83 inches. the last record was 4.3. seattle has broken the record for saturday. not for the month but we know how much rain everybody is dealing with and strong winds in addition to that. what caused it? a big low out there in the pacific northwest with a couple of waves that kind of kicked through the area. with that it pulled the moisture from the coastline and continued to give them rain. i wish i could say it's over with, but still more rain in the forecast today but not as heavy over the weekend but flooding concerns are high with even more rain about 2 to 4 inches still possible in through washington today and 1 to 3 inches in through oregon. the other side we are talking about temperatures. notice how warm it is. denver about 82 and portland about 59. we get warm air close to cold air, we are going to see strong winds and that is going to be another factor. it's going to continue as we go through the day. winds gusting to 35 to 35 miles an hour today. portland, about 36-mile-per-hour gusts. looking at the pattern, a little

what is on the agenda for this visit? this is a tough job, isn't it? >> reporter: absolutely. it's a very challenging and tough task. this is going to be for the organization, for the prohibition of chemical weapons. the opcw that begins its mission in syria to eliminate that country's chemical stockpiles. that mission starts tomorrow with the arrival of an advanced team, 20 political and technical experts are expected in damascus tomorrow. they will represent the logistics and set the ground for these inspection and the destruction of syria's chemical weapons. you mentioned, john, a very tough task ahead for a number of reasons. first, the deadlines they are up against. syria is expected to destroy all of the chemical production and mixing plants in a month's time by november 1st. by the first half of next year, all of the country's chemical stockpiles must be destroyed by

then. a very tough task. even harder because of the environment in syria. this is an active combat zone. it is a very violent war zone. it's going to be a logistical challenge for this team to try and move around we are told by the organization that there are about 50 chemical sites that need to be inspected in syria and some of them in rebel-held territory and some in contested areas so reaching these sites, securing these teams, very big challenge. one opcw official telling cnn that they might have to amend the way they do things for syria, rather than destroying the chemical weapons stockpiles, what they might do is what they call a quick and dirty operation where these weapons are rendered unusable rather than destroying them. >> really unprecedent situation going in a hot civil war to dismantle these weapons. a team of u.n. investigators have been back in syria a week. they are leaving today.

what have they been up to? >> reporter: john, that is the team that has been investigating alleged chemical weapons attacks that have taken place in syria. this year, the u.n. says that a number of alleged attacks were brought to the bodies's attention but seven of those, they said, warranted inspection and investigation. the team has been in there looking at these and investigating these chemical attacks, three of which we are told by the u.n. allegedly took place following that deadly large-scale attack in the suburbs of damascus on the 21st of august. the team that has been there has been collecting physical samples and they have been speaking to physicians and alleged victims, and as you mentioned, they are leaving the country today and they are expected to file a comprehensive report by the end of october and this is not expected to assign blame put they want to establish the fact whether these chemical attacks about happen indeed.

and he is going to do everything he can to make us look bad. >> reporter: like many of his house gop colleagues, he is insisting on tying funding the government to defunding obama care. why the brinksmanship and why the insistence on health care? >> i will say in a lot of our districts, the voices are quite strong, in favor of that. you know, some districts stronger than others. but there is a loud cry out there on obamacare to -- to do whatever we can do to delay it, to defund it, to whatever it. >> reporter: especially in the little rock district he represents back in arkansas. but is it realistic? >> it's a false choice to say it's obamacare or nothing. it's obamacare or the old way. >> reporter: what about this? >> there are a hundred different ways.

>> reporter: is there a way to keep obamacare and amend it greatly to your likely? >> no, because the entire structure, the entire structure is built on washington making central decisions in an industrial factory age type mentality and telling everybody out in the states, thousands of miles away, this is the way it has to work. >> reporter: he admits the stakes are high. >> i don't want the government to shut down. i don't think it's good policy. i don't think it's good politics. >> reporter: aaron mcpike, cnn, capitol hill. our thanks to erin. 36 minutes past the hour. all he wants is closure. the father of a man stabbed to death near san francisco's at&t park. jonathan derve wnver was killed week a few blocks from that park where they say he got into al anication with giants fans. the father of denver wants to know what happened.
